plugin not correctly interpolating POM variables like project.build.directory -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-189 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-189 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.1 Environment: I used both released version 2.1 and also 2.2-SNAPSHOT Reporter: Ray Suliteanu Priority: Critical I have a assembly descriptor file with ${project.build.directory} in the <source> element of a <file>. I get an error "Failed to create assembly: File to filter not found" because the file path has "${project.build.directory}" rather than the value of ${project.build.directory}. I have traced the problem to AssemblyInterpolator.interpolateElementValue(). It tries to look up build.directory in ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate() rather than project.build.directory, and it can't evaluate build.directory. A hack workaround is ... if (value == null) { try { value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(realExpr, project); if (value == null) { // HACK: strip ${ and } and retry wholeExpr = wholeExpr.substring(2, wholeExpr.length() - 1); value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(wholeExpr, project); } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
